Reviews

This is a really important book for those interested in driving improvements in human capital reporting and standards to enhance wellbeing in organizations in the public and private sector. This is a must read for those interested in human capital standards from an outstanding author team. --Professor Sir Cary Cooper, 50th Anniversary Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health at the ALLIANCE Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK and President of the CIPD Wilson Wong, Valerie Anderson and Heather Bond have curated a comprehensive collection of people management standards from across the world - an essential resource for all serious HR practitioners. It's a seminal work and proof of how far human resources has come in the last 100 years. --Steve Corkerton, Chief People Officer, National Crime Agency This is an insightful and provocative guide to standards in human capital management and development. When our public services are facing ever growing expectations and changing patterns of demand with increasing complexities, the need for excellent standards in leadership and people management have never been so acute. This comprehensive book challenges HR professionals to think more expansively about human capital. --Adrian Smith, Deputy Chief Executive & Corporate Director Place, Nottinghamshire County Council Despite its significance to value creation, Human Capital is not always measured, fully understood or documented. The authors deliver valuable insights in the drivers shaping standards and workforces and how these can affect the future of people management. --Lucas van Wees, President of the European Association of People Management; Director HRM, University of Amsterdam As the world of work rapidly evolves, so does the focus on people, or the human capital, which underpins every organization. It is exciting to see the development of standards that help define good practices, but also principles of positive people management and corporate governance. This book is the first to pull these all together, providing a strong context and narrative from experienced professionals and academics who have been at the heart of these developments, to create a route map for HR professionals and business leaders, as well as policy makers and regulators. --Peter Cheese, Chief Executive, CIPD This book gives a comprehensive overview and summary about the first Human Resources Management Standards which have been published and the ongoing further activities. This management book should be mandatory in the library for all HR professionals, because it shows how Human Resource Management could create competitive advantage and value for companies and defines the role and responsibilities of Human Resource Management. --Oliver Kothrade, HR Director Panasonic Appliances Europe An amazing collection brought to you by global thought leaders discussing the standards developed by the global HR community that will play a significant role in the future of work. --Amy Schabacker Dufrane, CEO, HR Certification Institute The international HR standards in this volume offer eminently practical guidance to HR professionals everywhere about how to create value for their organizations by managing their people more effectively. --Wayne F. Cascio, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor, University of Colorado; Robert H. Reynolds Chair in Global Leadership, University of Colorado It is about time that human capital specialists establish a standard on how to professionally practice HR. This is not a backward-looking standard but a forward-looking one, which is what human resources is all about - continuously adding value to the business through human capital with forward-looking people practices. --Low Peck Kem, Chief HR Officer and Senior Director (Workforce Development), Public Service Division, Prime Minister's Office, Singapore Insightful and thought-provoking, this book is a must-read for any HR practitioner or manager aiming to use standards to unlock human potential and improve organizational effectiveness. --Dr Linda Holbeche, Co-Director, The Holbeche Partnership, Adjunct Professor at Imperial College and Visiting Professor at Cass, Bedfordshire, Derby, and London Metropolitan Business Schools. This book gives a comprehensive overview of how to apply quality standards to a range of human capital issues and will be of much interest to managers, organizational leaders and HR professionals. It is a compelling, thought-provoking read and gives practical tools and insights, which can be used in a range of settings. --Dr Liz Mear, Chief Executive, The Innovation Agency, UK This book tackles important issues about standards, people and organizations. It enables experts to identify the current value of standards and consider how standards can make sure people management keeps pace with the new data-driven world of business and global competition. --Sharon Mavin, Chair of University Forum for Human Resource Development; Director of Newcastle University Business School and Professor of Leadership and Organization Studies This is a valuable, practical and insightful guidebook to the future of the key standards affecting human capital management and development.
